A cruzada da Watchtower contra a teoria do germe

Embora seja uma leitura algo longa, aconselho a todos aqueles que hoje em dia recusam acusações contra a Organização com respeito às vacinas, transplantes e outras coisas relacionadas com a área da saúde, leiam este artigo que expõem a determinada e acirrada campanha da Organização contra os germes e as doenças provocadas por eles.

Coloco apenas a introdução.




The Watchtower's Half-Century Crusade Against the Germ Theory

Introduction

One of the most bizarre Watchtower campaigns was against medicine in general and specifically the germ theory. The crusade against medicine was not primarily a phenomenon only during the Rutherford era but was the dominant Watchtower view from the late 1880s to the early 1950s. Hundreds of articles were published, primarily in the The Golden Age and its successor Consolation, which lambasted orthodox medicine and many of the basic conclusions of modern medical research. Typical Watchtower comments include "sickness abounds . . . and the M.D.'s and dentists have waxed rich at the expense of suffering humanity" (Newcomb 1929:106). Watchtower writer Shelton stated that 

among the drugs, serums, vaccines, surgical operations, etc., of the medical profession, there is nothing of value save in an occasional surgical procedure. Their whole so-called 'science' grew out of Egyptian black magic and has not lost its demonological character. By their own admission, more deaths are caused by their practices every year in this country than from any other cause. We shall be in a sad plight when we place the welfare of the race in their hand. Readers of The Golden Age know the unpleasant truth about the clergy; they should also know the truth about the medical profession, which sprang from the same demon-worshiping shamans (doctor-priest) as did the 'doctors of divinity'. . . medicine originated in demonology and spent its time until the last century and a half trying to exorcise demons. During the past half century it has tried to exorcise germs. Its methods are the same in both efforts at exorcism, and instead of injuring the demon or the germ, the injury is often to the patient (1931: 727-728).

The Watchtower taught the function of germs was to serve as sanitary engineers to help keep the body clean. When disease occurs, the germs attack and break the tissue down into its various constituents. We thus blame the germs when they are only responding to the disease. The real problem is causing our body to become unhealthy by "constipation" and nerve pressure. In light of this "truth" the Watchtower criticizes the medical profession stating that this truth about constipation "is far too cumbersome for the twentieth-century experts of medical science, who, 'knowing better what is needful for us than the God who made us,' have devised costly nostrums to be injected directly into the blood stream by means of the syringe furnished with a hypodermic needle, which penetrates the tough skin provided by nature as a shield" (Parrett 1938: 12-13, paraphrase from Fitzgerald, 1938: 12-13)

Que coisa mais ridicula,esta gente é um perigo para a humanidade.

Vou usar esta maravilhosa matéria para mostrar a alguma família.

Se mostrar isto a algumas TJ eles dizem que é invenção apóstata.

Pessoas doentes, em geral, ficam mais vulneráveis aos efeitos da religião.
Tendem a virar-se para Deus.
Portanto, talvez as religiões deste tipo não tenham muito interesse em ter membros saudáveis... acho que esta afirmação foi verdade especialmente no tempo de Rutheford.

Exceptuando o poder da mente no corpo através da fé acho que medicina e religião não combina.

Pelos vistos, há muitos anos que a Watchtower anda brincando aos médicos!

Mas, entretanto, não chegaram novas luzes?     ( já tinha saudades dele)

Muito interessante TJCurioso!
